This guy's nuts. You've got to wonder whether any Russians believe this stuff. He's probably only getting away with it because he writes it in English.
Also, Pravda Online is anything but "the Kremlin's mouthpiece." The idea that this website (which is unaffiliated with the former newspaper of the same name) speaks for Medvedev or Putin or really any sane Russians at all is totally wrong. Pravda Online doesn't even speak for the Communists, let alone the government.
The Russian press has actually been very complimentary about Canada during the Olympics.
So please, let's not get carried away with one lunatic. If the Russians wanted to find some nutjob on the internet in Canada spouting off about Russia, they probably could, and we wouldn't want them claiming him to be "Ottawa's mouthpiece."

I. McDonald is correct that “Pravda Online” is unaffiliated with the former USSR Communist Party (CP) mouthpiece of the same name. The latter was disbanded as a result of Boris Yeltsin’s fiat dissolving the CP and seizing “all” of its property in August-September 1991.
So McDonald is correct in a “sort of” way: the vast majority of the Pravda staff established a new “independent” journal of the same name and in 1999 launched Pravda Online. The most prominent leaders of the initiative were former Pravda editors Vadim Gorshenin and Viktor Linnik.
Even today, Pravda Online has impeccable access to Russian Federation (RF) military brass.
As for its Business Model? An English language page which bears no resemblance to its Russian language page? A website with “journalists” who write in English? A website with no discernable advertising on its English pages? A website that continually bashes the US and justifies RF hypocrisy (e.g. RF`s illegal withdrawal from the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty). Follow the money.
I doubt that Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey is a volunteer.
Or do you believe that Canada/Britain/USA or maybe the Freemason's are funding the website?

Commentary here is supposed to reflect readers' opinion. With "plants" like this one and the endless stream of provocation from Maxim de la Trine, that is hardly the case.
The editors are inexplicably lax here.
